"Mr. UNetanyahu ujongene nezibalo ezibuthathaka-indlela yokuphendula e-Iran ukuze ingabonakali ibuthathaka, ngelixa izama ukunqanda ukwahlula ulawulo lwe-Biden kunye namanye amahlakani asele ephelelwe ngumonde wokutshutshisa kuka-Israyeli imfazwe eGaza. "
Ewe, oku akukho nto: isicatshulwa esingenamkhethe, esilibalekayo esitsalwe kwi ENew York Times — ukusuka kwiingxelo ezisisiseko zobundlobongela bethu bangoku, njengoko ihlabathi liselunxwemeni . . . oh, iMfazwe Yehlabathi yesiThathu.
Ziingcaphuno ezilibalekayo, ngakumbi malunga nemfazwe eqhubekayo, enokuba yeyona nto inobungozi, kuba konke abakwenzayo kukuqinisa ingqiqo edibeneyo yesiqhelo. Igama lam elithi "impambano eyamkelekileyo." Sinamandla obuchwepheshe nangokwengqondo okubulala kungekuphela nje amawaka okanye izigidi zabantu kodwa uhlanga loluntu luphela, kodwa masithethe ngako malunga neqhinga, amaqhinga kunye nobudlelwane boluntu! Makhe sithethe ngayo ngokungathi sigubungela iqela lamakhwenkwe aneminyaka eli-10 ubudala agibisela amatye. Ngubani oza kuphumelela?
Lo ngumba ophambili apha: yokuwina.
Xa ama-cowboys amabini ejongana kungquzulwano oluxhobileyo, lowo utsalayo aze adubule ngokukhawuleza, ebetha omnye umfana esiswini okanye naphi na, uyaphumelela. Ufike ahambe encumile yedwa.
Andilikhethi ibali le-Times elicatshulwe ngasentla njengengxaki ekhethekileyo kuguquko lwamva nje lweziganeko kuMbindi Mpuma, kodwa limele ukuphambana okwamkelekileyo kwemfazwe engapheliyo - ukuncitshiswa kwemfazwe ukuya kwinto engabonakaliyo. esoloko ibandakanya abafana abalungileyo nababi, kwaye ichaza ukubulala (kuquka nokubulawa kwabantu abaninzi) njengempindezelo, ukuzikhusela, “umboniso wamandla,” njl. njl. “Iminqweno yesizwe” libhaso elisemngciphekweni. Ubomi bomntu buyinto nje yokuxoxisana, ngaphandle, ewe, xa abantu ababi bebabulala.
Ibali leTimes, umzekelo, lihamba ngaphaya kokutsalwa kwalo kungquzulwano lwe-Israel-Iran ngaxeshanye. U-Israyeli waqhushumba kwi-consulate yase-Iran eDamasko, eSiriya, ebulala amagosa amaninzi ase-Iranian, ibali lisazisile. I-Iran yaziphindezela kwiiveki ezimbini kamva, yadubula iidrones ezingama-300 kunye nemijukujelwa kwa-Israyeli, phantse zonke ezo zadutyulwa kwaye umonakalo omncinci kakhulu wenziwa. IThe Times yathi: “Ekuphela kwengxwelerha eyingozi yayiyintwazana eneminyaka esi-7 ubudala, uAmina al-Hasoni, eyayenzakele kakhulu.”
Imfazwe ichaphazela abantwana! Ewe, ewe, kunjalo. Intliziyo yam iya ku-Amina al-Hasoni. Kambe ke, Thixo wam, ishumi elinesithathu lamawaka labantwana libulewe kuhlaselo lwaseGaza ngamaSirayeli, kwaza kwangxwelerheka amawaka, ndingasathethi ke ngeenkedama. Kwaye ezinye zilahlekile, zilele phantsi kwengqushu. Ingaba athini amagama abo?
Kuthekani ukuba imfazwe igutyungelwe ngendlela ulwaphulo-mthetho lwasesitalatweni olugutyungelwa ngayo - kungekhona njengento engabonakaliyo, kodwa ngokwazi ukuba yingxaki enkulu yentlalo? Kuthekani ukuba imfazwe igutyungelwe kukuqaphela kwangaphandle, oko kukuthi, ngobulumko obudlulela kwiingcamango zezopolitiko - endaweni yokunqula ezo ngcinga?
Apha, umzekelo, nantsi CNBC ingxelo ngongquzulwano lwe-Israel-Iran. Ukuqaphela ukuba i-Israel ithembise "ixabiso elichanekileyo" elivela e-Iran ekuphenduleni uhlaselo lwe-missile, i-CNBC emva koko icaphula uMongameli u-Biden egxeka uhlaselo kwaye yongeza ukuba i-United States "iya kuhlala iziphaphele zonke izoyikiso kwaye ayizukuthandabuza ukuthatha onke amanyathelo ayimfuneko. ukukhusela abantu bethu. ”
Ngaba unokukholelwa? Amazwi akhe awandenzanga ndizive ndikhuselekile. Khange ndicinge nje ngento enokwenzeka kodwa inyani enokwenzeka yeMfazwe yeHlabathi yesiThathu, kwaye ukufunda la magama - "thatha onke amanyathelo ayimfuneko ukukhusela abantu bethu" - kwenza iingcuka ziqale ukubhomboloza emphefumlweni wam.
I-Platitudes plus nukes? U-Biden wayengathethi ngokudlula imfazwe kunye nokuphepha uhlahlo lwabiwo-mali lomkhosi weedola zelizwe. Mhlawumbi, wayethetha ngokuyisebenzisa, eyibeka emsebenzini ukuze "sikhusele" - uyazi, "ukoyisa" utshaba lwethu olubhengeziweyo (i-Iran, ngokucacileyo), kungakhathaliseki ukuba ixabiso elifunekayo kwiPlanethi yoMhlaba, kuquka nawe kunye nam. Kuthekani ngezinye iindaba zeendaba ezingayivutheliyo le nto nge-shrug?
Ukugubungela imfazwe kufuna ukuba kuqondwe ubuxoki obuyixhasa ngokwezopolitiko. Ngokomzekelo, njengoko World Beyond War uyibekile:
Ngokutsho kwentsomi, imfazwe 'yendalo.' Ukanti kufuneka uhlengahlengiso olukhulu ukulungiselela abantu abaninzi ukuba bathabathe inxaxheba emfazweni, yaye kukho ukubandezeleka okukhulu kwengqondo phakathi kwabo baye bathabatha inxaxheba.”
Ngamanye amazwi, imfazwe ayisiyomveliso yokuzivelela komntu - ekugqibeleni ubuntu bukhule ngokwaneleyo ukuba bukwazi ukuzilwela ngendlela elungelelanisiweyo, edibeneyo - kodwa ngokusisiseko ngokuchasene noko: inkalo engaguqukiyo yokuba singobani. . . i ezinzisiweyo ukuhluleka ukuguquka, ungatsho.
Uninzi lwamagqala, njengoko World Beyond War ukucaphula kuthetha ukuba, bahlala bethwele umthwalo wale nyaniso ngaphezu kwexesha labo lenkonzo. Banyanzelwa ukuba bajongane, ngokwabo, impembelelo yengqondo kunye neyomoya yento abayenzayo-yokulandela imiyalelo, yokuthatha inxaxheba ekuthotyweni nasekubulaweni kwezityholo zeentshaba. Ekuvukeni kweemfazwe, amazinga okuzibulala kwezilwanyana anokuba manyumnyezi. Ngelixa i-psycho-spiritual trauma ichazwa ngokusemthethweni njengesigulo sengqondo - i-post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) - abanye abanokuqonda okunzulu, kubandakanywa nezilwanyana ezininzi, bayibize. ukuziphatha okubi. Ukulandela imiyalelo kubanyanzele ukuba benze ngaphaya kobuntu babo: Xa ujongela phantsi abanye abantu, uzenza isidima.
Le yimpambano eyamkelekileyo yoqweqwe lwemithombo yeendaba nge-win-lose abstract, naxa sikwicala leMfazwe yeHlabathi yesiThathu. Ukuphindaphinda ukonakaliswa kokuziphatha ngamabhiliyoni aliqela abantu kwaye into onokuthi uphelele kuyo kukuphela kwabantu.
